Gerogia on my Mind

The family has returned from a long trip to Georgia. Scout's family is from there, and we took Mo to meet her relatives, some whom she has never seen! It was loads of fun, and there are lots of pictures and videos. I am putting them together so they will be easier to look at. I hope to have that posted by tomorrow.

The trip was good despite the sweltering heat. At one point, I really thought I was going to die. It was close to 100 degrees every day.....getting down to a balmy 88 at night. We ate really wonderful food (Aunt Ree's famous southern breakfast.....yuuummmm), and enjoyed more sweet tea than a person should.

The only thing that was hard was the airplane. We took a red eye, with a lay over in New Jersey. Mo did as well as could be expected, but she didn't sleep......never a good thing. Travel time was about 10 hours each way.....so it was a challenging to keep her entertained the whole time. Luckily, on the way home, there was a little boy Aiden sitting in the seats acros the aisle. We were in the last row of the plane, and had a little playgroup going on.

Mo's highlight of the trip was meeting her cousin Jacob. She LOVED Jacob. She followed him around like a puppy....wanted to do everything he did, and is still talking about him constantly.

It was so wonderful to visit family......as much as we love Oregon....being so far from family is hard. We really cherish the times we do spend together.
